This photo captures the beauty of the famous 'floating torii gate' on scenic Miyajima Island, located off the coast of Hiroshima in Japan. The gate is part of the larger Itsukushima shrine. Often considered one of the most beautiful in all of Japan, this iconic red torii gate is a true symbol of spiritual significance and architectural splendour.
The photo was taken at low tide, revealing the gate rising from the sea and revealing its impressive base. At high tide, the gate is completely submerged, making it extra special. The deep, rich red of the torii contrasts powerfully with the calm water, horizon and setting sun. This enhances the atmosphere and sense of serenity and harmony.
The timing of the shot, just before sunset, adds an extra dimension to the picture. The subtle light of the last evening sun casts a warm glow over the immense red gate, making it seem to glow with a life of its own.
The floating torii gate on Miyajima is not only an architectural feat, but also a spiritual destination where visitors feel connected to the natural elements. This photo offers a glimpse of the timeless beauty of this cultural landmark and invites admiration for the harmony between man and nature.
